VERSE:
Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the LORD God
Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is.
-- Amos 5:14

THOUGHT:
Many illicit and evil groups have claimed to have God on their
side. Horrific things have been done under the disguise of a
"Christian" movement. Jesus, however, told us we could recognize
people by their fruit. Those who seek good and abhor evil and those
who practice justice and mercy are the ones who have God with them.
Let's make sure our claim of God's presence is matched by the
presence of God's character in our lives!
PRAYER:
Almighty God and loving Father, thank you for your presence in
my life. Please forgive me when I let sin and selfishness crowd you
out and bring reproach to your name. Empower me with your Holy
Spirit to live as your holy child while displaying your righteous
character to the world. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

VELVET ELVIS: REPAINTING THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, by Rob Bell
In this provocative, hopeful book, Bell asks what the church might look
like if today's believers fully embraced "the way" of love, peace,
sharing possessions, compassion, risk, forgiveness, and harmony.
